Cool so do you have some gameboy and NES games running on your Zune, i.e. Zelda

zune emulator

what would be a good idea is too have a one time app that you put the 'rom' file in a folder, and then rename the game (so if you have more than one game, the app wont overlap each other) and then when you want to play the game you just select the app on your zune.
if you want more then one game then unzip another app and put another 'rom' file in it and rename that one and then deploy it

i think that a emulator would have soooooo much promise because after you get the emulator on too the zune all you have to do is deploy and enjoy (after getting a rom file)

im sorry for being not here.
1.the emulators arent yet completed. when one is, ill review here
2.very good idea.

The Emulator Zone - Nestopia nothing for zune though

I don't want to brag but i've got Metroid running through xnaNES for zune...avg 7-10 fps...It's like Metroid with a matrix slo-mo twist o.O

brag all you like Blackwood just share something that cool with the rest of us.

Officially:
The emulator isn't being worked on...I'm trying to learn C# so i can perfect it. It's very...slow. Bout 7 to 10 fps. It's also supposed to allow the sellection of multiple ROMS, however it's not happening.

I'm also looking for a way to get all the buttons to work...yes ALL of them. I learned that holding down the Zune's back button retstarts the zune...

For any developers who care...here's the EMU but you must supply your own ROM : RapidShare: Easy Filehosting (Rejoice...zipped) The EMU is not mine :\ but I want this baby to live

here's my concerns : ( Copied from zune boards)
Somebody stated that the Metroid NES for zune would rock...

WARNING: BIG POST

well, i've downloaded sharpNES from the developers section and tweeked the controlls to the best of my knowledge.

Metroid fires up, i can start a level, and run about and shoot the alien things...though i feel like i'm playing Metroid (Matrix Hack) LOL!

There are three primary issues i'm concerned with...controlls, frame rate, multiple cartridges.

Controlls: Apparently you can add holding functions to buttons...which is great because All buttons are assigned except the Select button. I've learned that holding buttons can allow functions to be performed...from what I've seen in the code...if you hold down the back button long enough, the Zune restarts.

private void UpdateMenu()
{
menuPad.Update();

if (waitForBackRelease)
{
// Since the back button is used to leave the game,
// we need to wait here for it to be released.
if (menuPad.BackIsPressed)
{
return;
}

menuPad.Reset();
waitForBackRelease = false;
}

if (menuPad.BackIsPressed)
{
Quit();
}

If i read that right...holding the back button resets the zune...now how can i get the NES select to work.

Here's my current button config too...

Controller.Map(Buttons.DPadUp, ControllerButtons.Up);
Controller.Map(Buttons.DPadDown, ControllerButtons.Down);
Controller.Map(Buttons.DPadLeft, ControllerButtons.Left);
Controller.Map(Buttons.DPadRight, ControllerButtons.Right);
Controller.Map(Buttons.A, ControllerButtons.A);
Controller.Map(Buttons.B, ControllerButtons.B);
Controller.Map(Buttons.Back, ControllerButtons.Start);

Frame Rate: Currently between 7-10 fps. I'd like to know if this could be increased in anyway, with out damaging the Zune of course. If so...just tell me what i would need to alter.

Multiple Cartridges: I've seen the code for the ROM selection, but when i fire up the app on the Zune I don't get a menu...

ArrayList files = new ArrayList();
files.AddRange(Directory.GetFiles(StorageContainer .TitleLocation));
int i = 0;
while (i < files.Count)
{
if (files[i].ToString().EndsWith(".nes"))
i++;
else
files.RemoveAt(i);
}
roms = (string[])files.ToArray(typeof(string));
Array.Sort(roms);

string lastRom = LoadRomName();
selectedRom = Array.IndexOf(roms, lastRom);
if (selectedRom < 0)
{
selectedRom = 0;
}

topMenuRom = 0;

ALSO: GameKnight is still being worked on... Don't loose faith
